Stepmother in charge: Making a fortune through farming and raising her children to fight back

Qinjia Village.

The village chief stood at the entrance of the village with several thousand kilograms of grain, looking very happy.

He looked at the familiar faces below and frowned, "Stupid guy, didn't I ask you to call the whole village to a meeting? What are you going to do?"

Erlangzi scratched his forehead, a little confused: "Village Chief, everyone in our village is here. I have notified every household."

The village chief glanced at him, then turned his gaze to the crowd below: "I just said that all the villagers are called here, including our newcomers from Qinjia Village."

Aunt Yang was a little unhappy when she heard this and said, "Those are refugees who have just arrived. They might be carrying some kind of disease. What if they pass the disease on to the people in our village?"

"Bullshit! You'd better behave yourself. I don't want to hear the word 'refugee' coming from you." The village chief looked at her coldly. "Now that they've settled down in our village, they're members of our Qinjia Village. We must not treat them differently on a daily basis. Today, the county magistrate praised our Qinjia Village for its openness. Aunt Yang, can't you be a little more open-minded? You have to be so petty and intolerant."

Aunt Yang: “…”

Isn't it difficult to ask her, who is usually stingy, to open up?

When the group of newcomers were called to the meeting, they were a little flattered.

Hundreds of people stood timidly behind the villagers, not daring to get close to them, just watching from afar.

After making sure everyone was present, the village chief continued, "This is the first collective meeting for us newcomers since we arrived in the village. I'm an old man and I'm not very good at speaking, so let's let the well-known Ruyi'an people come up and say a few words, and everyone can cheer!"

Yun Zhenzhen: “…”

She just came to join in the fun and didn't want to be the focus of the crowd.

But as soon as the village chief finished speaking, there was a burst of welcome from the audience, especially from the newcomers to Qinjia Village. Everyone wanted to see the style of Ruyi'an people.

She had no choice but to walk up to the stage facing everyone's gaze and stand on it.

This platform was specially built for every gathering. People stand high and can see far, so that everyone in the village can hear every speech.

Standing up there and looking at the bustling crowd below, she could clearly distinguish the original people from Qinjia Village and the newcomers.

The original people of Qinjia Village were wearing warm and clean clothes that were washed white, while the newcomers were wearing thin clothes, shivering in the cold wind, and stamping their feet to keep warm, but there was hope in everyone's eyes.

"First of all, I am standing on this stage and, on behalf of all the people in Qinjia Village, welcome every new compatriot who has come here. I am also very grateful for bringing new people and new partners to our village," Yun Zhenzhen spoke slowly. Her voice was not loud, but every word was sonorous and powerful, and could be clearly heard by everyone. At the same time, her words caressed everyone like a warm spring breeze.

"From now on, you are an important part of our Qinjia Village. I hope you can integrate into our community as quickly as possible. I also hope that the old partners in Qinjia Village can openly accept the new partners. Let's all contribute to the development of our village and build a more beautiful and hopeful Qinjia Village."

"Our village is nestled between mountains and rivers, boasting beautiful scenery and abundant farmland. As long as you are able to endure hardships, work diligently, and strive for progress, this fertile land will surely reward you with even greater rewards..."

"From today on, our entire village is a single entity. As the saying goes, a single tree can't support anything, but when we all come together, we form a strong family. I believe everyone wants to lead our village to become the best it can be. In this process, we must constantly learn and improve our abilities... Those with children can send them to school, and those who want to learn skills can interact with the villagers and learn farming, embroidery... Whatever we have and you want to learn, we can share..."

"With the joint efforts of each of us, Qinjia Village will surely be more full of hope and become the big family that nurtures each of us!!!"

clap clap-

As soon as he finished speaking, there was warm applause from the audience. More than a thousand people clapped at the same time. The scene was truly shocking.

The village chief looked at this scene with great satisfaction.

He knew that the Yun family's niece had a way of speaking that always made people excited and even follow the meaning of her words.

He was the first person to lead the applause, and the people in the wool workshop also had experience, so they followed suit and applauded. In the end, the applause spread to everyone.

Especially the newcomers to Qinjia Village, many of them had tears in their eyes and were waving their hands.

Before entering Qinjia Village, they were refugees with no fixed place to live. They were not welcomed anywhere they went. They were like rootless duckweed.

It was not until they entered Qinjia Village and settled down here that they became new Qinjia Villagers and gradually integrated into the village. Only then did they feel their hearts gradually settled...

"Okay, everyone, collect—"

The village chief came on stage and gestured to end the applause, and the applause from the audience gradually died down.

"Okay, let's end today's welcome ceremony here. Now let's move on to the second exciting moment: we'll divide up land and distribute food to the newcomers to Qin Village!"

The village chief clapped his hands, and several people pulling ox carts behind him drove the cart loaded with grain up. Several thousand kilograms of grain had been packed into small bags and piled on the open space next to them, which was very eye-catching.

Qin Zheng walked to the front and started reading out the names one by one according to the previous list.

"The head of the household is Li Daniu. There are four people in his family, young and old. Each person received ten kilograms of grain, for a total of forty kilograms. They were allocated eight mu of land."

"The head of the household is Liu Dahu. There are two people in his family, 20 kilograms of grain, and four mu of land."

"The head of the household is Wang Niuniu. There are five people in his family, 50 kilograms of grain, and ten mu of land."

"..."

Because they fled from the south, the largest family had only five people. Most of the elderly people died on the road after the long journey, and there were not many left of those with large families.

The people in Qinjia Village watched as their small group of people went up to collect food, and then looked at their own family members of more than a dozen waiting to eat. Although they always said they were starving ghosts, now they seemed to be quite happy.

Although my family doesn't have much money, at least we can have enough food and clothes, and my whole family is around us and we live an ordinary life. This is better than anything else.

There were more than 200 people in total, and every household received food and was temporarily allocated land. After the spring plowing next year, they would work hard to cultivate the land. By then, they would have enough food and clothing and could truly settle down...

Having their own house and fields made the people present feel very secure when they thought about it. After all, these two things are the foundation of a farmer's livelihood.
